DFW, TX Area Help

Hope this is the right forum area.

I just got my gauges in the mail. I really really dont want to drill and tap everything to put this stuff in. I also hate wiring up stuff.

Can anyone help me out on where I can take them to get them installed at in the area? Any help is appreciated, would like to get them in come Tuesday because I have a long weekend, but then again kinda short notice.

If it matters the truck is an 04 Dodge 2500 Automatic yada yada. And the gauges are Isspros pyro, tranny temp, and boost. I bought the gauges and everything in a package from Diesel Manor so I'm assuming everything is already here and just needs to be put in.

Anyone with some advice?

Thanks in Advance,

David

Hi David,
I'm sorry nobody has replied yet, but the gauge install isnt all that hard. We have meetings once a month in Waco and if you brought the gauges, I'm sure one of us would be more than happy to give you a helping hand. I really cant think of any shops in that area...sorry I couldnt be more help.

It's cool.

I'm sure if I'd just quit being so paranoid about it I could probably get it done. But then I don't really have the time to take on the project and would really love to be able to drop the truck off somewhere and still beable to attend my classes.

I have a somewhat good automotive knowledge, but there's just something about drilling and tapping I don't like. Especially since I've never personally done the task.

Hey man. If you can make the meet in Waco on the 28th I'd be more than happy to install the gauges for ya. It's not hard at all. I've done 3 sets on my truck alone.

Your to young to be paying that much attention to the details, you must have went to one those fancy schools. I know the younger generations may not remember it, but there was a day when fuel and maintenance were cheap and road trips were fun.

If fuel was $.99/gal like it usde to be when I started driving I'd make road trips more often. But at $2.60/gal, I just can't afford it.
